Does anyone know how to mark different rows in a mulitcolumn table? What I mean is that I want to be able to do something like in Explorer where you hold down Ctrl + click and it selects only the items that you click on.

For example, I have a table with 5 columns in it and whatever amount of rows. I want to be able to click on row 3, 6, 7, 12, 34 and 96 lets say, and be able to cut them and paste them together in between rows 4 and 5. My columns are not numbered sequentially so that is not a problem if things are re-ordered. In fact I am manually re-ordering things right now by clicking on a row cutting it and then pasting it where I want it.

The reason I have to take this extreme measure is because Frame 5.5 is not sorting my table at all (due to its' own inherent flaws) and my table is 100 pages long.

Is there a way to do what I am describing (provided that I am describing my problem accurately)?
